GARMENT-HOOK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 533,677, dated February 5, 1895.

Application filed September 21,1894. semi F0. 523,692. (roman) ing is a specification.

This invention relates to a garment hook more particularly designed to be attached to a waistband in such a manner that it may be readily removed and replaced when the gar- 1o ment is to be washed.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of a waistband provided with my improved hook. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the hook, Fig. 3 a rear view r 5 thereof, and Fig. 4; a further perspective View of the hook.

The hook A is composed of a single length of wire, which is bent to form the head, shank and eyes, all of which are designated by difzo ferent letters of reference.

At one end the hook is provided with a fiat bar a, from the ends of which the wire is turned downward and inward to form a flattened or laterally expanded head a. The

shank extends downward from the head, and

is then bent first upward and then again downward, so as to form within itself two hooks a a". At the end of the shank, the wire is bent sidewise and upward to form one large continuous loop a, which is by the rear section of the shank divided into the two eyes I). The loop a, should be provided with a central indentation a the lower point of which meets the second bend of, of the hook shank, and prevents the tape drawn through the eyes I), from slipping out of such eyes and into the bend o The waistband or other article B to which the hooks are to be secured is provided with the button holes 0, placed in an upright position as shown.

The hooks A are all strung upon a common tape E, which is passed through the eyes I), and may be engaged by projections a of the hook-shank, which retain the hooks in position. Next the hooks are passed with their heads a, through the button holes 0, up to the second bend a upon which the hooks remain suspended. The hooks are now in their proper working position, and may be used in the ordinary manner by slipping their elongated heads into the button holes of the garments which are to be attached to the waist band.

What I claim is A garment hook formed of wire, having a doubly bent shank, a head upon the hooktongue proper, and a clamping portion formed by a loop bent up against the shank, substantially as specified.
